Fettigator and ???

By Ootman, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I am going to be running Fettigator with Ablaster- EU- Daredevil. This is concrete.

However, I need help deciding on who to run with him...

Option 1: Kath: seismic,VI, Recon Specialist (remaining 2 pts give Fett a seismic as well)

Option 2: Kath: Lonewolf and Gunner

Option 3: Rexler: Lonewolf and HLC

Option 4: BH and Obsidian Pilot

I am leaning towards option 1 and option 3, but would like to hear other's thoughts. I know this is not too meta competitive, but I attend Store championships to have fun and fly casual.

Thanks!

While I do play tournaments, I too enjoy flying fun and casual and I really like your Fettigator. My opinion is to go with Option 2, mostly because it fits my play style and I love Firesprays. Kath is a bit hardier than Rex and having a rear arc is kinda like a white K-turn, so, I think the advantage goes to Kath there (unless you really like bombers). Gunner is a great upgrade that has helped me tremendously in the past and increases the odds of getting a crit which synergizes with kaths ability in the late game, when crits matter. Although, Rex does have a similar function and arguably can induce a crit more effectively than kath by having 4 hlc dice plus his ability, I still prefer having more hit points with Kath. I have been playing casual games with my friends and observing the current meta and what I've found is a lot of VI upgrades and PS 9. Example: whisper + VI, Turr + VI, Soontir. That could negate all of Fettigators maneuvering, but I think it's fun to fly and would definetly run something similar at tournaments. I'd be interested in reading a batrep from your tournament and Good Luck!!
